Renhai Reflections 165: A Renhai, Step by Step: Another verse


A Renhai, Step by Step: Another verse

by Vaughn Seward (Solo)

A snow storm's
layer of white velvet —
creek bed.

Possible links:
-Snow, storm, whiteness.
-Layering, flatness.
-Velvet, type of fabric.
-Body of water, aquatic (frozen).
-Channel, line.
-Bed, peacefulness.

From this list I am impressed by the idea of the snow storm and the frozen creek lying silently, perhaps not so warmly, under the pure untouched, newly fallen blanket of snow. In a flash of inspiration this verse emerges:

Howling north wind —
I snuggle a bit deeper
under the sheets.

The links are therefore:
-Covered, sheltered.
-Snow storm / North wind.
-Cloth, material (Velvet / Sheets).
-Bed.

Now, on to the middle lines...
